The return of the Witch!

Admit it, you think of the Wicked Witch of the West ...

It's been a while again! I decided I wanted to get back into blogging about my witchy life again, after feeling a bit disconnected from it all being super-busy being a new mum in the last year. I'm also getting back into blogging about beauty and lifestyle over on my other blog; I just want to get back into more creative and spiritual stuff (and not just changing cloth nappies and trying to stop my little witchling running around and hurting herself on stuff).

I will be posting one post a week to start off with, but I toying with the idea to set up an Instagram account for daily witcheries... As much for me, as for you :)

See ya all soon!

Using Day One as a digital grimoire?

So it’s autumn again, my favourite season! Around Mabon I tend to get a bit spiritually invigorated; life slows down, routines seem to return and I find it easier to get back into magic practice. One of the shifts this year is away from my paper journals, just generally. In the last few years of trying to do paper journals etc nothing consistent has come of it. I am just too busy. What I need is something that is instantly available when I have 10 minutes without the kids or work or house chores. And doesn’t require me to go to a specific room of the house to find specific pens, tape, stickers etc. Sound like you?… Read on… Mind you this is a fake one I did just for this article; I don’t know about y’all but no one reads my Grimoire but me… Digital journaling was not possible for me until I was gifted an old iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. And after that, the only consistent bullet journaling I’ve done, has been on Goodnotes. But even then, I needed my iPad and the pencil. What if I wan...

GRIMOIRE: What do I do?

When I was teaching witchcraft back in the mists of time, #1 question was, hands down, "Can I see your Book of Shadows?". If you're Wiccan, you know this is how Wiccans refer to their grimoire, spell book or whatever you want to call it. I had a really shit system back in the day - literally it was a massive ring binder with print-outs from the internet, photocopies (who remembers those??) and clippings pasted onto paper. I'd show it to students and they'd all be like.. They clearly thought I had this huge, leather-bound tome of calligraphy and detailed mystical illustrations. No. Maybe I should take it out of the loft and do a video?! Today, that binder has been replaced by Evernote. Yes, Evernote. Cuz ain't nobody got time for paper in this day and age. And also, Evernote goes wherever you go, on your laptop, tablet and phone (not sponsored, haha). You don't need to have a physical journal, it can literally be Evernote or just a giant W...

SPIRITUAL SURVIVAL KIT: January - Self Care

The New Year. Festivities are over, you are perhaps going back to work, you're all partied out... the list is endless of things we lament/regret in January. Therefore I thought that this month's spiritual survival kit would be one of self-care to get our groove back! I have been doing these monthly talismans for a while, but I've not actually featured them on Instagram or the blog before. But with the new decade upon us, I thought it was time. So here's how it works; you gather the supplies, throw a little ritual (don't forget to take a photo/mental note of the setup) with a meditation and stuff most of the ingredients in a small bag which you carry with you. You can then draw on your meditation and the photo of the setup if you need a boost! This month's tarot card is The Empress, you can read all about it on Biddy Tarot . I chose it because it shows you that you can create beauty in your life, and you are allowed to love and care for yourself like you w...
